Send us a text


On this Episode of Outside The Boards, we are thrilled to welcome
the Stalwart of American Polo, the legendary  Adam Snow, who
stands as one of the most esteemed American polo players in the
sport's history. With a career that spans over three decades,
Snow's passion for polo has not waned; at nearly 60 years of age,
he continues to make significant contributions to the game.

Commencing his professional playing journey in 1988, Snow has
evolved into a seasoned player with an impressive track record.
His prowess on the polo field extends beyond his skillful play to
encompass a profound knowledge of horses. As a testament to his
deep connection with these majestic animals, Snow, alongside his
wife Shelly, operates his own breeding operation, emphasizing his
commitment to nurturing and developing top-notch polo
horses.

One of the pivotal moments in Snow's illustrious career came in
2002 when he clinched his first U.S. Open Polo Championship. This
victory marked a defining achievement in a tournament featuring
15 teams at the formidable 26-goal level.

Reflecting on his career highlights, Snow also fondly recalls
playing in Argentina, notably at Palermo in 1999. His experience,
representing Hurlingham was nothing short of a dream.
Additionally, the joy of playing alongside his brother Andrew
during their inaugural high-goal season at Palm Beach in 1991
holds a special place in Snow's heart.

Snow continues to express his ongoing enthusiasm for the sport,
sharing insights into his current focus on 6, 8, or 12-goal polo.
Undeterred by the changing landscape of the game, Snow remains
dedicated to the competitive spirit, fueled by a passion for
playing with exceptional horses.

Beyond the polo field, Snow's commitment to the sport manifests
in his literary endeavors. With the book "Polo Life: Horses,
Sport, 10 and Zen," and now “Winning with Horses” co-written with
his wife Shelly Onderdonk. Adam Snow's journey in polo reflects
not only a remarkable athletic career but also a profound
connection to the essence of the sport and a commitment to its
continual evolution.
